The Living Desert zoo and gardens is one of our favorite places. It has animals and plants from the world's desert environments. We actually joined as members last year, because we like it so much. Last night there were very strong winds--upwards of 50mph--so it was cooler today and a perfect day to go. There was still a breeze, so even at 85 degrees we felt cool. The winds last night toppled a huge Palo Verde tree at the Living Desert. The tree was over 50 years old and had been a beautiful shade tree. Unfortunately it had to be chopped up.

At the moment there are about 10 ducks with their bills up against screen on our sliding doors (it's nice out so we've opened up and turned off the AC). They're just standing around quacking, watching us. I went out onto the patio and explained to them that the rules prevent me from feeding them, but they're content to just hang around and talk.
